Yuzaitan, located in Xinli Village, Liren Town, Longnan, Ganzhou, is mainly inhabited by Hakkas named Li, but their eating habits are quite different from those in Guangdong and Fujian.
Yuzaitan is surrounded by mountains and waters, and the environment is quiet. The biggest tourist attraction here is a square bunker-shaped fence called Yuzai Beach Wai.
This ancient enclosure has a history of 170 years, with as many as 126 houses. It used to be a place where local people lived and stored grain and rice wine.
It is said that the materials stored in the diaolou can provide residents with food and drink for three months. This function is basically useless at present, but it is very practical when it is stormy. The defensive and active functions of this watchtower are mainly manifested in the four watchtowers and the gun holes of the fence. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack, which is the biggest feature of Yuzai Beach.
The atmosphere of folk activities in Yuzaitan is very good. Yangcun ancient brew is a local characteristic rice wine. I tasted a few mouthfuls and it tasted good.
Yuzaitan is almost unknown, and Yaxi Ancient Village was unknown before. Until today, not many people know this place.
Yaxi Ancient Village is located in Bazhen Town, Long Yuan City, quannan county, about 22 kilometers away from the county seat. The layout of the village is quite artistic, and the layout of some small courtyards is antique. In front of the courtyard, you can hear frogs and various insects at night, and you can also enjoy the stars and the moon in the courtyard. Soon after walking out of the courtyard, the sound of the gurgling stream became clear. Coming here, the whole person can relax instantly.
Yaxi ancient village rose in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty. Because the ancestors came from Jinling (today's Nanjing), the traditional buildings in the village have a little Jiangnan charm.
The local customs are very special. If you are lucky, you can enjoy the spectacular scene of dancing incense and fire dragons.
The landmark buildings in the ancient village are Fuxing Wai and Yafengwei. Locals distinguish building materials, which are called earth fairs and stone fairs. Both enclosed houses have patios, which take into account the functions of lighting and public activities. Defensiveness is also a major feature.
Although Yaxi Village has been developed into a tourist attraction, there are not many tourists at present, and it is not over-commercialized, which I prefer.
Garden village is a picturesque special village in Ganzhou. It is located on the bank of Doushui Lake (Yanghu Lake) in Shangyou County. It is a village in the valley that has become rich from poverty due to the development of tea economy. The buildings here are unified and standardized, and the valley is filled with clouds from time to time. It looks particularly nice.
Tea culture is the tourism theme of this village, and many tourists like to take photos in the tea garden when allowed.
It's wonderful to climb the observation deck in garden village, see the continuous mountains and smell the tea.
It is said that there are 22 local surnames, which are relatively rare in rural areas all over the country.
Local men, women and children all know the tricks of picking tea, which shows that tea culture has been deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Gannan forest train is a major feature of Shangyou. In the past, it stopped for a while, but now it is changed to a tourist line to re-operate. Taking a small forest train and passing through mountains and villages along the way is like taking a forest adventure.
